Left and right can be whichever side you want. Each conn in Openswan
will work out if it is left or right from the conn definition. In
their own conf files both sides of the conn can be defined as left
or, in the simple case, you can use an identical conf file on both
sides of the tunnel. Left and right is entirely arbitrary.<br>

<div class="">We are trying to automate the creation of
conn parameters to connect a few hundred servers in a
full mesh network. Doing this using puppet, its very
easy to create the conns so that left = right and visa
versa on the other end but if left must = left then the
logic is going to be a lot more complex.</div>

<div class="">Does that imply that we can use left=right
and right=left on the other side? Can anyone confirm?
Any assistance would be much appreciated :)</div>
